Crohn's disease is an inflammatory intestinal disease that primarily causes abdominal pain and diarrhea. We report a male patient who presented with penile and scrotal lymphedema and inguinal fistulas as the first manifestations of Crohn's disease. Extraintestinal or metastatic Crohn's disease
Milroy's disease is a hereditary congenital lymphedema caused by lymphatic obstruction. The legs are most commonly affected, but impaired intestinal lymphatic flow can cause loose bowel movements. Here, we report the use of the Kampo extract of shinbuto for successful treatment of and abdominal pain
A 47-year-old man with stable stage II chronic kidney disease and episodic diarrhea presented with chronic, progressive bilateral lower extremity lymphedema. His mother and 2 brothers had similar acral swelling. Thus, a diagnosis of typical primary familial lymphedema was suspected. Approximately 1
BACKGROUND
Benzopyrones can reduce the volume of high-protein edema fluid by stimulating proteolysis. These compounds provide a method for removing excess protein and its consequent edema and reduce its clinical sequelae, such as chronic inflammation and secondary infections.
METHODS
We conducted a
CAN is a common cause of late graft loss. Nephrotoxicity due to CNIs is known to contribute to CAN. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of SRL in pediatric renal Tx recipients showing CAN in their allograft biopsy. Twenty-one patients aged 10.4 +/- 4.6 yr at Tx time receiving CNIs
Neutrophilic dermatosis (ND) confined to postmastectomy lymphedema, localized Sweet syndrome, is a newly recognized disease. In this study, the authors describe a 44-year-old obese woman with chronic myelogenous leukemia in molecular remission on dasatinib therapy, who presented with a painful
Purpose: Given the high survival rate of cervical cancer patients, understanding women's health-related quality of life (HRQL) during and after treatment is of major clinical importance. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize all
BACKGROUND
The most important factors for prognosis of cervical cancers are age and histological criteria such as the tumor size, the involvement of lymph nodes, lympho-vascular space involvement as well as microvessel involvement and poor tumor differentiation (grading 3). Here we present the
Coumarin is a drug which is extensively used to treat lymphedema. We report two cases of acute hepatitis probably due to coumarin. Two women, 40 year and 45 year-old, were treated with 90 mg/d of coumarin for 5 months. Clinical features included jaundice, pruritus, and diarrhea. A marked increase in
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequently encountered soft tissue sarcoma in children younger than 15 years of age.
METHODS
The authors reviewed the early and long-term morbidity rate and clinical outcome of pelvic exenteration for genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (GU-RMS) in children. Of 43
OBJECTIVE
We report on long-term health-related problems determined from extended follow-up of 86 children and adolescents who were treated for paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma on the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Studies I and II (IRS I-II).
METHODS
Patients were treated between 1972 and 1984, and
We treated 65 patients with prostatic cancer confined clinically to the prostate or periprostatic area during an 8-year period. Seven patients had stage A2, 38 stage B and 20 stage C disease. All 65 patients underwent staging pelvic lymphadenectomy and implantation of gold grains into the prostate
BACKGROUND
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasias are often associated with lymphoedema.
METHODS
The diagnosis was performed at 4 months when Maxime presented with lymphoedema, diarrhea, hypoprotidemia and hypolipemia. Duodenum biopsies revealed intestinal lymphangiectasias. An hyperprotidic and low
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) or Waldmann's disease is a rare protein-losing gastroenteropathy of unknown etiology. Less than 200 cases have been reported globally. Patients may be asymptomatic or present edema, lymphedema, diarrhea, ascites and other manifestations. We report two
OBJECTIVE
We examined whether use of small pelvic (SP) field encompassing only the pericervical regions and upper stream lymphatic will reduce the adverse events that occur with classic whole pelvic (WP) field, in postoperative radiotherapy (RT) for cervical cancer.
METHODS
